SMC Barricade & The Zone, Battlenet

[RossGr]

I recently installed a SMC router for my @home service. I am unable to get a lag meter in either the Zone for AOE2 or on Battlenet for Starcraft. I have tried the DMZ setting on the router but still no luck. Is it possible?

Next option would be to reset my game machine back to the single system @home settings. but guess who didn't record the initial setup Does anyone know how to get set back to single system, I have the documentation with all of the info, just not where it goes in the Nework setup. TIA

Ross computer name is the CC-4845985-A or whatever then workgroup @home. description whatever you want. Make sure you release all IPs with winipcfg. But I have those same games, putting my PC in dmz helped in AoE and SC. Might be a isolated issue..

Try forwarding port 47624 and ports 2300-2400.

Thanks all for your input, I have a nicly function network using the Barricade, As I write this the kids are playing Warcraft. But I am still not happy with my ability to do INTERNET gameing. I have found lots of good info, check these pages

MS White Papers

and an execellent article for the basics

Some real good Info

Unfortunatly I need some hand holding. The SMC has triggered ports, so when I have that info I can set it up. Now what is not clear is how to open ports when I do not have a trigger? Any one have a link to specific SMC set up information?
